# FenixPyre Prerequisites Checker Documentation

### Overview

The FenixPyre Prerequisites Checker is a tool that checks if your system and network environment meet the requirements for running FenixPyre. It performs several automatic checks to identify potential issues before you begin the installation process.

{% hint style="info" %}
Follow [this link](/fenixpyre-for-admins/getting-started/prerequisites-checklist.md) to understand the complete prerequisites for running FenixPyre. This tool focuses on checking if your environment meets running FenixPyre Standalone Encryption Utility
{% endhint %}

### How to Use

1. Contact [FenixPyre support](mailto:support@fenixpyre.com) and download the FenixPyre Prerequisites Checker application.
2. Open a powershell windows in administrator mode (optional).
3. Navigate to the folder containing the checker.
4. Run the application with your organization information:

   ```
   ./fenixpyre-checker --org-id yourOrgID --user-id your@email.com
   ```

#### Optional Parameters

* `--skip-ip-check`: Makes the check run faster by skipping IP connectivity tests.
* `--use-tcp`: Uses an alternative method to check network connectivity if standard methods are blocked in your environment.

### What It Checks

#### 1. Network Connectivity

Verifies your system can reach all required FenixPyre services.

#### 2. Security Protocols

Checks if your system supports modern security standards (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) required for secure communications.

#### 3. Firewall Settings

Tests if your network allows connections to all necessary IP addresses used by FenixPyre services.

#### 4. Windows-Specific Requirements (Windows only)

* Confirms you have the right system architecture (64-bit)
* Checks for required software components:
  * Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
  * Microsoft Edge WebView2
* Verifies your system settings are configured correctly

#### 5. Authentication Setup (Windows only)

Tests if your system has the proper security certificates installed.

#### 6. Organization Configuration

Verifies your organization's FenixPyre configuration is properly set up (when organization ID is provided).

### Understanding the Results

The checker provides a detailed report with check marks (✅) and X marks (❌) to indicate which requirements passed or failed:

* ✅ **Passed**: This requirement is met.
* ❌ **Failed**: This requirement is not met and needs to be addressed.
* ⚠️ **Warning/Skipped**: This check was either skipped or requires manual verification.

### Next Steps

#### If All Checks Pass

* Verify your email spam filter settings to ensure you'll receive communications from FenixPyre.
* Contact FenixPyre support to schedule your onboarding.

#### If Some Checks Fail

Address the issues indicated in the report:

1. **Network Connectivity Issues**
   * Ensure your network firewall allows access to the required endpoints.
   * Contact your IT department to adjust network settings if needed.
2. **Security Protocol Issues**
   * Update your operating system to support modern security standards.
   * Ensure TLS 1.2 or 1.3 is enabled on your system.
3. **Windows Requirements Issues**
   * Install missing components like Visual C++ Redistributable or WebView2.
   * Ensure your system time is correctly set.
   * Verify that AppData is stored on local storage (not a network drive).
4. **Certificate Issues** (Windows)
   * Ensure client certificates are properly installed.
   * Update your system's root certificates if needed.
5. **Organization Configuration Issues**
   * Verify your organization ID is correct.
   * Contact FenixPyre support to verify your organization's setup.
